Sixteen music videos from the Emerson community past and present have been selected for the first annual Silversonic Festival. A free, public screening will be taking place in the Bright Family Screening Room of the Paramount Theater on November 15th at 7PM.

Seating is first come, first serve. We hope to see you there!

There will be a reception afterward in the lobby of the cinema for an opportunity to mingle with some of the musicians and filmmakers!

ArtsEmerson: The World on Stage presents Tales from Ovid. Tales from Ovid shapes the myths that have been the basis for countless contemporary stories: stories of transformation, of transcendent passion, of gods and mortals locked in combat until that entanglement combusts into a new state of being. In Ted Hughes' muscular and robust retelling, which was awarded the Whitbread Prize in 1997, these myths are explored and exploded outward, and embodied in a vibrant new adaptation.
